Kent Crusaders face Cardiff Celts this weekend in a league and Patrons Cup double header. On the Saturday the two teams play an important division two game, which head coach Mads Olesen has highlighted as the focus of the weekend.

In their first game of the Patron’s Cup Northampton went down in a high scoring encounter with Plymouth Raiders 96-92.
